I think we're rehashing an earlier debate, but...

This isn't quite a fair characterization.  It's not *just* uncooperative 
DNS managers, but software limitations, differing budget lines, actual 
distinct operating entities where DNS is offered as a service, etc.  I 
would expect that this problem is likely to persist in nearly every S&P 
500 company, a number of governments and educational institutions.  So 
when you call this a 'local optimiziation', maybe it is true in the 
academic sense, but the scope of the locality is quite large.
